Uhhh Hmmm... Well, you know.

You may wonder why I have not posted in over a year... Well, due mainly to my neglect, the blog has become sort of on back burner for a while. And then, of course, having not logged in for SOOO many months, I forgot my username and password. Awkward. And then of course, this discouraged me from doing anything on it for a while because it takes enough to even motivate me to post, let alone reset my password and then post.

But enough with the excuses. I have figured it out, and now alll is well. So wanna know what's been going on in our lives for the past... year and a half.... WELL, let me explain. No NO, it's too long. Let me sum up:

I'm pregnant. Need I say anymore. (Due Sept. 11)
Ok. Just kidding, I will:

-Jonathon completed his Master's Degree at AFIT (late March)
-We moved to Eglin AFB in Florida (April)
-Michael turned 2 years old (April 30)
-First "East Coast Runion" with all my family on the East Coast (May)
-Jonathon did Tech Warrior training in NY (June)
-I did an ENTIRE online course in 4 weeks. Yeah, I'm proud! (June)
-First COMPLETE Baird Family Reunion in 3 years (July 4)
-Jonathon did FAM training in OH (July)
-Finally back in Florida at our house! (Aug)
-Expect our baby in T-5 Weeks

Meanwhile, Michael is the sweetest boy I could ever have hoped for. He is obedient, kind, gentle, and confusing me into having another child. What have we got ourselves into?

I have to say, we LOVE it here in Florida. Life is beautiful, and so are the BEACHES. Can you say white sugar sand? Yeah, pretty nice. To bad it is so dang hot outside. I think I'm gonna die. And anyway, Beach+2 year old= alot of work. So we mainly stay inside. But once baby is born, weather is cooler, and I feel more up to it--watch out world, here we come.

I can't even tell you how nice it is for Jonathon to have a normal job. He goes to work, comes home, and DOESN'T have SCHOOL WORK! Yep, this is the life. Couldn't ask for a thing more.

So now that you have the basic gist of our life, enjoy some pictures of some of our adventures. They may, or may not be in chronological order, but at least you have them! :)

All Michael Plays with are rocks... even when there is so much else to see.
Notice Jonathon is SO patient with Michael. I get bored too fast.



Playing with Sidewalk Chalk

Homemade Ice cream the old fashioned way.




Crazy "kids" at the East Coast Reunion
East Coast Reunion: Climer family, Brandt Family, McCarther Family, and Vilburn Family


Michael discovered what is in an Easter Basket....

Candy Candy Candy!!
(He is saying it and using sign language)

As always, a reunion isn't complete without games.


ROAD TRIP! Our happy family on the way to Florida



Last goodbyes to our house in Florida. We were all really exhausted.

Well, there should be more to come! Hopefully I won't be too lazy to post. Stay tuned for the arrival of another Climer!

Wow. I am so honored that a picture of me made it into your first blogpost in a year. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the little people who came to me so I didn't have to drive anywhere with my 4 kids. Also, Kristen took some rocking pictures of your little guy. Also, I'm totally with you on the beach equation. Also, your family is adorable. Also, I can't believe you took an online class with a 2 year old and a bun in the oven. You are my hero. Also, I can't wait for your next blogpost.
